Wow! What impact this poem has on the spirit! I felt as if all the pent up anguish, strife and pain in a person's life had been released at long last. I was relieved at the end. Fantastic! You continue to amaze this writer.

You have such passion in this poem, SirWilliam. It sounds to me like the panic in trying to deliver a breech presentation, fearing that the baby will suffocate before the head follows the body in birth--and from the baby's perspective as well! But, I sense this is a metaphore for something much deeper. I would love to sit in the audience when you do readings of your work, and listen to your detailed explanation hidden under the words of this poem. You never fail to impress this reader!
